The atmosphere here was awesome! The staff were very helpfully snd always up for a chat. The movie room and free wifi is a great feature to this place. At first I thought it would be hard to meet people since it was so big but between the tv room, bar area, movie room and kitchen, always people around. The only thing I wasn't impressed with was the showers, they had hot water which was nice but no privacy with the open washroom and shower concept. Also the sheets seemed well used

I really recommend the Caledonian Backpackers in Edinburgh. Well decorated, good atmosphere and bedrooms/bathrooms are clean

It is a nice place to stay in youth atmosphere. the location is perfect it takes just ten minutes to the city centre and the breakfast is free!!but, above all, if you are willing to learn Spanish this is your place!

Wow! Feels like living in a creepy old mansion, but in the best way. The only downside was that it was really hard to meet people willing to talk because most were longstays and hung out in their little groups, not speaking english. But i think that's just the way hostels work in the winter... Lots of fun things though, movie room was awesome and free breakfast is always an excellent idea. Gold star!

I really enjoyed my stay there and would definitely come back. The staff was really nice. The decoration/painting really helped add character and make it a more fun place to stay. Also, I really loved the different type of spreads for bread there was at breakfast :)

Cleanliness of the bedlinnen was very poor!
